1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Room-temperature ferroelectricity in two-dimensional semiconductors has ignited enormous interests due to their potential applications in non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing, which will trigger a revolution in next-generation electronics. Nonetheless, this fascinating ferroelectricity is rarely discovered in such materials with natural central symmetry, especially at atomically thin limit. Here we disclose a room-temperature ferroelectricity with out-of-plane polarization in chemical vapor deposition synthesized two-dimensional α-MnS. The difference in thermal expansion coefficients between α-MnS and mica substrate leads to the evolution of dislocations in two-dimensional α-MnS, which induce the generation of tensile strain and the displacement of S atoms, thereby result in the emergence of ferroelectricity. In addition, the ferroelectric tunneling junction based on two-dimensional α-MnS exhibits large tunneling electroresistance (1.3 × 10
